CR Rae writes about U.S. travel, including family-friendly activities. She likes to find unique, off-the-beaten-path things to do in even the biggest cities. Traveling the highways and byways, she finds the dirt on the back roads and the ins and outs of some of the most fun and interesting places -- giving you, the traveler, those little tidbits of info to get the most from your travels.

Do you or someone you know just love the wine scene? Here is a great "thing to do"--spend the day working in a real wine cellar with one of your favorite vintners. It is your chance to get up close to the grapes and get involved in the real deal of creating a great wine.

It is the "Winemaker for a Day Experience" and takes place throughout Ohio Wineries. It is a hands on chance to get the true "experience" of wine making as you are guided by one of Ohio's professional winemakers.

You never know--you could be helping to create just the right blend of an award winning wine. Maybe you would be bottling wines from an earlier vintage. You could even help to crush the grapes of a future gold or silver medal wine.

Those participating can select the winemaker they would like to work with from wineries across the state.

They include:

+Caesar Creek Vineyards, Xenia

+Candlelight Winery, Garrettsville

+Debonne' Vineyards, Madison

+Ferrante Winery, Geneva

+Gervasi Vineyard, Canton

+Heineman's Winery, Put in Bay

+Maize Valley Winery, Hartville

+Old Firehouse Winery, Geneva on the Lake

+Paper Moon Vineyards, Vermilion

+Shamrock Vineyards, Waldo

+The Winery at Lakehouse Inn, Geneva on the Lake

+Terra Cotta Vineyards, New Concord

+Vinoklet Winery, Cincinnati

Once you have completed your day as a winemaker you will receive a certificate suitable for framing, a bottle of wine labeled with the "Winemaker for a Day" logo not to mention you have bragging rights to your friends and family.

This truly is a fun experience. To participate call 800-227-6972 or visitwww.OhioWines.org,click on the Winemaker offer in the and make reservations for the
